Mr .

The petitioners complained , tbat a meeting having been conrsned in Bnll in the marketplace on the 12 th of April last , is reference to the cocdxict of Baron Gorney on the trial of William Jones iorsedition , a Jsrge body of the police of the town had " ^ .

Graham . ) It -was the andonbted right < jf Tgnrf ?« Ktnan to assemble to petition Parliament . As to the obstruction of the highway , that was impos &bie , T > ecs ! isa tite TneeUng took place , "where be under * stood " meetings feqoeatJj bad been held so late ago as
2813 , when tbsSi ^ it Hon . Baronet ( . Peel } was « azryicg the Corn Bill ^ Jirough the House . A meeting ¦ was held late odb evening in the market-place of Hnll , at -which the Bight Hon . Baronet , whose Cora Bill did aiot exactly please « itiier party in the country , "w&a burnt in ifBgy , the tSgyliemg filled with gunpowder and oth&r combustibles , and this -was done amidst great apprehension of many persons , who felt compelled to shut their shops , and yet no police interfered . He hoped that "the Bight Hon . Gentleman -would not refuse aComjnittee . His ease TronM not take two days in proving , sad , therefore , he hoped the Bight Hon . Gentleman would show his grateful recollections o ! the people of JBali , and sot lefose as inquiry into their grievances . He moTed that the petition from Hnll presented on the 2 ih of May , be peftxred to a Select Committee .
Sir J . Q&ASXH , after expressing Ms grateful recollecfions of the town of Hnll , said , that on the present ation of the petition , he had ordered an official inquiry to be made by the suthoritiea of HnB into the statements of ths Hon . MembeTj and-ot coarse be knew irofJrrng ^ bont the xs » e exceptzsg flie statement of the saiflioritiee madeon thar responsibility , « nrt of course be -was notable to answer the statements of the Hon .

Gentlfcman sod-Stf magismtes , B&mely , in the day ofthemBetang . It was the 12 th of April . The meetlncwaa held in Ihe
« TBning , for the conTenience of the working people , and tip wthi nnnnTpd by yh" T gTftrati'W it nt eight o ' clock "when the meeting was di « peiBed . AtthatHonrin ApriJ jfattnw ^ it would be dbserred , wouldhaTe commenced Mr . Wat , when he appeared before the magistratea , didnoi allege that a ainglB blow ' had been struck . As tothe obstrnction , the Maiket-pl&ca -wts a zquare on which foar streets abutted , and the Market-place , sc--cording to his in&sma&m . was complstaly obstmcted Uow , as « ns that great numbers of persona hadassem WedsfterdarkintliatthoroQEMare , the police thought
useeessary , for the maintenance of the peace of the town , to disperse them . Hating then directed the competent authorities to-isguire , their account jmH yfl nr ) > ittti fhyt f > w » f ** % ^ - » ptc « ht > Var < stated ; and , considering tits lima which had elapsed since the eeurxaDcs , siid that it would not eoafluce to tke propagation of good feeliugi among the inhabitants of tb * town that this inquiry should take place , be could sot agree to theappwmtmentof a committee . He was satisfied that the sondnct of-the magistrates and t > w » police was sot unbecoming—that no injury took place , and not a blow ¦ Waaatmci .
Mr- GiSJto&HE theught the explanation not satisfactory , and that the police were not justified in the attack they bad made cm the meeting . It was not Statedwhen the meeting cftTnTnfmr *^ - He didnotaee && £ ^ arkneaa was a treason for dispersing a aeeting , and he had little doubt that the confine ; of the police 'was stimulated by the language of the Bight Hon . feoaUeman on a former occasion . 2 &r . HuitE though * that the Bight Hon . Baronet had iirennp the case , for -be had sot attempted » season for the dispersion , except that it was dark . Was it , th » rn to be promulgated in tbat House that people could sot meet in the ¦ ( lark ?—[ laughter } . That was a new doctrine , and be thought the Bight Hon . Baronet
ought to be ashamed of promulgating it—ll&u ^ btsr Jf the square was lit up with gas , as he was informed it was , that pnt the Bight Bon . Baronet oat-of court . The latPTiem of the time of bringing on the motion was not a reason , because bis Hon . Friend had postponed Ms motion sereral times out of regard for the con-Tenience of Hon . Members , and among other * his { Mr . Hume ^ l . in his opinion the magistrates and Qie police onghtto receiTB the censure of the House , vt harisg violated the authority intrusted to them . If the committee-was refused , bis Hon . Friend ought
to moTe a Tete of censure on those parties . If the floctrine of dispersing pmBb ;* -was is be -carried out In Ireland and Wales , the police would bare enough to do . In Wales , too , they tsaI in the dark—( hear , bearj . Surely there ought to be a difference made between meetings of the well-dlspossd and peaceable , and meetings far purposes of violence . If the work-^ TigTnyi was aot to meet after work , "when was lie to meet ? He-was sorry the Bi ^ hl Baronet bad no * expressed an opimon of censure of file proceedings of the magistrates . He bad expected better things from the Bight Hon .
Baronet-¦ z 3 &i . \ Bvtt f 6 lt bound ta say that he beliered no per-¦ ons -were less disposed to exercise their powers with rigour and indiscretion than the magistrates in question .

MOHDAT , ATTGUBT ? . The House sat from from twelve , o ' clock at noon till balf-past one next morning , being j tbirteen hours and a b&lf . They went through the Irish-Poor law Amendment Bill in oommittee , and . advanced other measures . \ On the motion for going into committee of supply , Mr . Ewabt raised a brief debats on the great and important principles of fiee trade , bolng probably the last opportunity en which this -vital subject can be discussed in Parliament during the present year His motion was , that it was ( expedient that the principles advanced in the celebrated Import . Duties Committee of 1846 should now be recognised in legislation , and at once applied as a remedy lor the depression 0 ! commerce and the distress of the people . i Mr . Milseb . Gibson followed , in a short speech .
Mr . Gladstose referred to the thinness ef the attendance , as evincing the exhaustion of the House asd the inutility of pressing such a debate aa the present at this period of the session . Thesa important subjects could not be re-considered at this late season , even if it were fitting to disturb them at all , so soon after the great settlements of them which were made in the . last year . ; Mr . Hume said the motion was a very fait one . The public bad begun to apprehend that Sir Bobert Peel was receding from the free trade principles professed by him a little while ago ; and it became reasonable , therefore , to call for a declaration from the Bight Hon . Baronet . :
Mr . BEIGHT said he was glad to be there as the representative of men with hard hands , for the rich had representatives enough . He bad been an active membfr ., of the league , because he believed that the abolition of the corn laws would be the abolition of all other monopolies . He scented the word protection , which was intended for the property of the rich , not for the labour of the poor . The ' question was a rent question . Surely the poor man ' s property in bis labour was as sacred as the rich man ' s in his land , or even more sacred . But the operative made a piece of flannel and sent it to America—born came back in exchange—and then you compelled him to pay a duty of 12 s . ttponit in order that be might be dr iven to buy bis corn of the English landlord . ; The general discontent at these things was extreme , and tended to a spirit of insubordination . Look at Ireland , look at
Wales—the landlords were the subjects of complaint in both those parts of the empire , and things were not much quieter in Scotland or is England . A body of pitmen had combined in the north to keep up prices ; that might be absurd enough , but was it worse than a combination of three hundred gentlemen in tbat house to keep up rents ? Let the landlords recollect that they have an interest in Ifae j * ° P '' a prosperity , and that the people will prosper by the introduction of food into the country . ; The House divided , rejecting the motion . The bouse having resolved itself into Committee of Supply , I Sir G . Cleek moved a vote of £ 821 , 020 for the expenses of the war in China , stating that this sum was a debt due to the Bast India Company . After some explanations the vote was passed .
Sir G Vlesk moved a vote of £ 25 , 300 / or military services in Canada . Mr . Boais contended that the Canadians ought to bear their own expenses . If the local Government wanted those troops let it pay for them ; if the troops were not wanted by that Government , let them not be charged upon the mother country . Lord STANLEY said there had been a reduction of tfcia estimate from £ 120 . 000 to £ 25 , 800 . Mr . Hvme , proving obstinate , persisted to a division , on which he was defeated . ; Tho Committee next went into the miscellaneous estimates . Ths vote for the Caledonian Canal occasioned some debate , bnt after a division it was carried , and the Committee then proceeded with the other miscellaneous Votes . :
The Houte having resumed , the other orders of the day were disposed of , and Sir H . Hardinge having briefly introduced Ins fen ! to enable the Government to arm and call into active service the out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital , the business of the day was at last brought to a conclusion .

REBECCA AND HER FAMILY . ( Reported ezprudf for Ihe 2 f 6 riheraStar . J Sw AKSBA-This numerous family appears to be greatly increasing , far it is only ashort while ago that any depredation in this neighbourhood could ] with any degree of justice be attributed to the agency of the invisible iebeoca ; sew sot a night occurs but soxae devilment or another is transacted , and all is laid on the good old lady ' s shoulders . ' Since I wrote yon the authorities have been committing right and left ; but the only testimony they could obtain in support of the charge was the -unsubstantiated evidence of the informer , and bis -testimony contradicted by many respectable witnesses ; As the local and London journals have so fully reported tbe examination before the Magistrates , I shall not detail it here , but call your attention to the leading facts : —
The informer , John Jones , deposed tbat be was present "When the Bolgoed toll-gate was destroyed . It was between one and two o ' clock in tile morning ; that about 250 men were present in various dugulses ; 100 -were in possession of fire-arms , which were incessantly being fired , and that Daniel Lewis , one of the defendants , personated Bebecca ; tbat the other three defendants wen also present , dressed in white shirts over their clothing , and tbat the destruction of the gate occupied from ten to fifteen minutes , ' when they went to the mountain and dispersed . On his cross-examinatien witness state * that he was on bis way from his brother ' s , where be bad been staying three boors , two of which he passed in his company , when be fell in with the Bebeccaites , and that he never stated to any one tbat be was ignorant of the parties who were present at tbe outrage .
His brother was called on , who deposed that the previons witness was not in bis house at all , neither Bad be been so from the latter end of March ; and lie was quite sure be bad not seen him on thai week . Two other witnesses also swore that the informer told thesa that he was so afraid he did not go sear them , and did not kn » w a living soul who was present . Others were called who said they would not believe him on bis oath . The magistrates committed all the four , but admitted them to bail to take their trial at the Assizes . Mr . Maule , solicitor to tbe Treasury , conducted the prosecutien .
' On the night of the day on which- this examination took place , a toll bar was destroyed within three hundred yards of the Town Hall , where the Magistrates had held their sittings ; two more in the immediate locality , and three others in the neighbourhood of Llaudilly . Last night ( Friday ) a field of wheat was cut downlong before it was ready for the sickle—the property of a gentleman who had rendered himself obnoxious to Mother Beeca ; and another gate has been destroyed about two miles from town . In short every morning brings us accounts of gates destroyed or other pro * pert ; injured . Several other committals have taken place . : Tbe town and neighbourhood is placarded with bills cS ^ rins . £ 200 reward for the apprehension and conviction of any of tbe parties concerned in the destruction of tfee Bolgoed , Panifleld . Bhydypandy and Ty Coch Gates .
THE ABMS " CASE . " Mr . Yanshan , of the Bed Lion , was charged with being a " Bebeccaite , " and purveyor gtneral for arms for that lady and her daughters- ¦ — Marsh , agent f « r the steam-packet company , deposed tbat a case arrived at their office addressed to the defendant which , from a letter he received , he was given to understand contained arms . ; He sent word to the Mayor , who arrived at twelve o ' clock on Sunday nigut , ( O ! what a disregard of Sii Ai Agnew J ) in company with the magistrates' clerk and a body of police ; and -when the case was opened it contained twelve fowling pieces , double and Binsle-barrelled ; one brace of pistols ; one bullet mould and some percussion capB . The informer Jones swore ho saw Taughan at Bolgoed when lbs bar was destroyed . ¦ Mr . Vaaghan offered to produce witnesses to prove that he was at home .
The Magistrates , ou the solicitation of Mr . Mauls , EoPcItor to tke Treasury refused to hear them , and the defendant was committed fer trial .
TCBtf OTJJ OP THE COPPEB TVOBBESSThe-whole of the men belonging ; to the extensive copper works around Swansea and Neath have struck ¦ work . On Saturday last , when ths turn out was finally agreed ^ pn to take place , they resolved to have a processionOi nil accordingly upwards of a thousand of them entered Swansea four-abrsastj Before they got to the main street they were met by Dr . Bird , the major ( a little dumpy chap with a white hat and green spectacles } on horseback ; who told them that he had got a letter from the Queen U ) not to allow any procession to go through tbe town ; and he therefore urged on them tbe necessity of a " xight about f aoe to be folfowed by a ceunteraaxeh to their respective places of abode . The men showed little disposition to comply ; and be again began blarneying them " about loyalty to
the Queen . It is , howeveyer , rather doubtful whether oiJBotUMywOTMliavB complied , bat Mr . Tivyanyaa fflttensiTB master , and one who is generally esteemed , joined the Mayor , and stated ihat be bad some statementi to make to the meb , -what ttiey agreed to « c company Mm to a field outside the town . It should oe remarked as a lesson to other dvU dignitaries that tberewas ao Tmnecessoyparade of physical force on I ™ 2 ^ ? 1 tte authorities , to which circumstance , 53 k £ 2 P * iL good * e 0 Be ot *• 3 &&x ' it may ** atobttted the reason why . the whole affiur passed off Itrtv £ ach ol ttB **** ^ Mayor , wXTl 1 , * ' - TiTy ^ and Mi .

increased , and as they marched in a circle around tbe horsemen and police , each division under the direction of a person appointed to eonwouFits movements , the superintendent exclaimed t « the Mayor in evident alarm : " They j are aU drilled I " , The ring being completed * and silence obtained Mr , Vivyan addressed them in tke following strain , " Now , my lads , I have , *© thank yon that you have not been guilty of a breach of the peace , but that 70 a have . at once complied with the wish ; of the Queen ( a-voice "Fudger ')—the wish of tbe Qaeen that yon « h « uJd not march in procession ;—and now that we are on our own ground , let me hear wbatyoucomplain of ; tell me what you want —( "We want the price the same as before . " ; Pat it as reasonable men ; look to the trade generally ; see how tbe iron-workers are reduced , and one metal goes with the other ; the price of copper is reduce * from Is . to 0 d . Pat it tojyourselves ; the copper companies have studied to keep the works going , but when they ask you to reduce a little , yon strike .
One of the men said in reply that Mr . V . had not fairly stated the cafe , inasmuch as he had said they had submitted to no reductions when the fact was directly the contrary ; , for although they nominally received as mnch ai formerly , yet when it was considered that they had now to make seven seore seven pounds to the owt , and twenty-three cwt and in some cases twenty-four to tbe ton ; be thought if tbat was not reduction he did not know what was . ' Another workman observed that tbe reduction in the price of iron instead of being a disadvantage was a
positive advantage to the masters , as they used it so extensively in the works ; that tbeir trade was very uuhealthy and should be well rewarded ; and that a suit of clothes would not last them a month ; that although the alactanen" got nominally good wages , yet when it was remembered that they bad to act as labourers , and get ' labourers" wages one Week in every month , tbeir average earnings were greatly reduced ; and that tbe proposed reduction would in tbeir case be 7 & « d . a week . He thought it unfair and he for one would not aceadetoit
Mr . Benson , the otter master present , took on himself the-task of replying , and would a&sure the men tbat with this masters it was a case of dire necessity . Ju 81 let the men go back to the * r work and hope for better times . And aa soon as they could afford it th » y might rely that they would again receive their former wages . He alsorwould compliment them on their orderly conduct onrtbe present occasion . They bad afforded an example to tbe whole community , and he would suggest that they sive three cheers for ihe Queen , and agree to return to their work . A man here sung out , ' * "Will the Queen fill pur bellies or clothe our wives ? " and in sorrow for the loyalty of the copper winkers of Swansea , I have to record that not a solitary cheer was raised for their sovereign .
The Mayor then thanked the men for tbeir orderly conauci , and after some farther altercation about the wages they were in receipt of , the prominent' part of which -was maintained by an underling who bad neither tbe some nor feeling of his employers , the ' * gentlemen " departed , and tbe workiea unanimously resolved to stand out upon " strike .

( From the Times . J Cahmaethbn , Aug . 5 . —Mr . Hall , tbe Commissioner appointed to inquire into the cause of the disturbances of this country , arrived here ( Carmarthen ) on Thursday night , and on Friday commenced his inquiry , in the manner I have already described to you—bearing privately the communications of every person who will go before him , relative to the state of tbe country . Another gentleman , a barrister , named Ellis , also forma part of the Commission , and directs his attention solely to the accounts and management of tbe turnpike trusts . I understand he has expressed a strong opinion against the numerous side bars , and that he has drawn a Bill , new before Parliament , having for its object the consolidation of . the trusts , and the gradual paying off of the tallies . : Sofarfrem the disturbances having abated , they seem to be progressing rapidly , and a crisis of some kind must soon arrive .
On Wednesday night the turnpike-gate in the village of Uannon was demolished , and tbe toll-house burnt The Rebecca rioters then proceeded to a mansion recently erected near there Ly Mr . Kees Goring Thomas , a Magistrate of the county , and broke all the windows . They then gave three cheers and dispersed , On Thursday morning , between twe and threeo'olock , the Rebeccaites , armed with guns and other weapons , destroyed tbe Furnace-lodge and Sandy Limekiln gates , near Llannelly , together with the toll-houses belonging to them , and afterwards burnt the materials . They severely beat the gate-keeper of Furnace-lodge , and it is rumoured shot him in tbe face . After firing a number of shots , they separated . There ia hardly a gate 01 a bar In that part of the country now standing .
At Narbeth there is a turnpike-gate called " The Plain-dealing and Stumpy-gate , " within 300 yards of the hotel where the Castle Martin Yeomanry are stationed , and where a magistrate is obliged to be ready to act . On Thursday nfght . ^ seven carts and drivers came to this gate , sad demanded to be allowed to pass through . \ The gate is in reality a long poll across the road , swung with chains at each end . The toll-col lector refused to allow them to pass unless they paid toll , when the driver of the leading cut coolly unyoked bii horee from the cut , and fastened it to the
bar , and pulled it down by main force , saving , " tbat was the WBy to pay the toll . " A constable was standing near , who ran to the hotel and informed Mr . Swann , tbe Magistrate , who was there , of what was going on . Mr . Swaim immediately sent three or four special oonstabids to take tbe man into custody , but the cart drivers , who were now passing through the town , set ; the constables at defiance . Mr . Swann then ordered cut the yeomanry , and the drivers , seeing them coming , ceased to muke any resistance , and were all taken into custody .
Yesterday morning , about eight o ' clock , the same bar having been re-erected , a farmer rode up and demanded to pass through without paying . * this was refused , when he made his horse drive against it , and broke it in the centre . A constable attempted to take him into ; custody , but was resisted , and the farmer threatened to tako tbe life of anybody who attempted to apprehend him . The constable ran to tbe hotel to inform the Magistrate , who sent six or seven constables to appeehend the offender . He , however , resisted them , stndMr . Swann fearing & serious disturbance , again ordered eut the yeomanry , and tbe farmer , as aoon as lie saw them , immediately surrendered . He was fined 2 ox for tho offence and discharged .
To-day also a meeting of the trustees of the Three Comet Trust was held in Carmarthen , and the question of the number of the side-ban and gates was taken into consideration . Ten ef them w « re recommended to be taken dawn , and a meeting of ths trustees to decide on this is appointed to be held on the 26 th instant . Tbe different trusts , however , are so interwoven that It is almost : hopeless to effect much good without a consolidation of the whole of them . On Thursday tbe magistrates here again assembled for the purpose of swearing is special constables , according to adjournment ; but although there were 250 summonses , no one answered .

MOST DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . A fire broke out in Moseley ' a tool-factory , in Newstreet , Covent-garden , on Saturday morning , about seven o ' clock , when the wbole of this well-known manufactory was destroyed . The premises in question were bounded on one side by Rose-street , and having Messrs . Jones ' s gas-work factory abutting * on the rear of the same . Ab to the origin of tho fire , nothing could be learned , bnt it appears that Mr . Jones , on getting up at a quarter before seven o ' clock , and on looking out of his window , was astonished at seeing that Mr . Moseley ' s premises were on fire . At this time it is certain the conflagration was raging in tbe lower part of the factory . Mr . Jones , on rushing oat of the house to give an alarm , found that notice bad been previously given , and that several persons , assisted by the police ,
were busily engaged arousing the inmates of the adjacent houses . Several brigade engines—tbe West of Bngland and County engines , the two latter under the direction ) of Messrs . Connorton and Carter , were with all - possible expedition en the spot , and as soon aa water could tee procured they were set to Iwork , but the engines were forced to give over working for some minutes owing to there not being a sufficient supply of water . In about half ah hour after tbe outbreak , namely , a quarter past seven o'clock , tbe whole range of workshops belonging , to Messrs . Moseley , occupying nearly 6 , 000 square feet , were completely enveloped in flames , and , notwithstanding tbe exertions of the fin-men , they could not prevent the adjoining property of Mr . Jones , gasfitter , of Bose-street , from igniting , and in a very short period the workshops belonging to the latter gentleman were ; with their contents , entirely consumed , and owing to the extremely combustible nature of tbe
8 took of Messrs . Moseley , without which the flames were inconceivably rapid , and by half-past seven o ' clock , the of whole the four fleers of tbe factory were on fire , aud the only part that appeared to be comparatively free from its ravages was the western end , which was filled with timber . In less than ten minutes subsequently the fl « nes broke through the roof , which fell in with a fearful crash , which was do sooner done than the flames rose to a tremendous height , and could be distinctly seen for a great distance . It was soon evident to the most experienced firemen , that nothing could saveMesars . Moseley ' s premises ; they therefore endeavoured to their utmost to prevent tbe fixe spreading to several adjoining tenements , At half-past eight , one of the ? Immense walls fell in , and for a minute or two subdued the fire , but it again burst forth vfith increased fury , and it was not nntila quarter before nine that the firemen had the controul of the fire , when it was pretty clear that it would soon yield to the water Which was being poured upon it .
, ANOTHER FIBE . Shortly before twelve o ' clock , on Saturday night , the neighbourhood of Fore-s ' teeet , Llmehouse , was thrown into a state of great esclteinent , In consequence of a fire , which ] was sot extinguished until property to a very Benbos auiount was destroyed , breaking out on the premises belonging to Mr . Mills , situated at No . 105 , Fore-street , Limehouse , nearly opposite Messrs . BIyth ' s extensive steam boiler fattory . The first discovery was ; made by police constable Hutton , 60 K , ¦ who , in passing along his beat , had his attention directed to ; it by perceiving smoke issuing from the street door . The officer immediately sprung his rattle ,

I . and aroused the inmates , but , by the time be had accomplished this , the back part of the first floor was one body ef fire , which was fast descending thestaSrease , and it was with : the utmost difficulty that the residents were reacue-i . By that time the fire bad broken through the trails of the adjoining house , belonging to Mr . Martin , being No . 104 . The officer , immediately on discovering the fire , despatched mea-Isengers to the different engine stations . Several quickly j arrived , and as soon as water could be procured , the : whole of the force was set to work ; but , notwithstanding the indefatigable exertions of tbe firemen , the
whote of Mr . Mills ' * premises were consumed , together I with those adjoining belonging to the Wall ' s-end Com-! pany , and considerable damage done to Mr . Martin ' s ' premises , the Steam-boat public-house . By naif-past one o'clock the firemen had perfect ; control of the fire , and no further destruction of property took place . A strong body of police of the E division , tinder the direction of Mr Inspector May , were on the spot , and rendered essential servico to the inhabitants by keeping { back the immense crowd , and also ia assisting them to remove their furniture . The origin of the fire ia \ unknown .
TOT At DESTRUCTION OF BIRD ' S STEAM SAW-MILLS ,
; GRAVEL-LANE . i We are extremely sorry to have to record another I most alarming and destructive fire , in which property ito the amount of many thousand pounds was con-; sumed . This fire broke out on Sunday , in the immense { range of premises belonging to Mr . Bird , the occupier of the well known steam saw mills and dock contractor , I situate in Love-lane , Old Gravel-lane , Shad well . The premises were about 150 yards in length , aad nearly i fifty i . depth , and of proportionate height , and were filled up with steam engines and the usual costly ! apparatus . The yard and adjacent outbuildings were f stored with timber aud other equally inflammable commodities . The fire was first discovered by police I constable 332 K . at which time it was raging
in the centre of the eaw-milla . The officer , with all possible speed , raised an alajrn , and went to the [ adjacent premises , belonging to Mr . Kuight , soap and ; tallow meiter , to apprise him of the imminent danger | his property was in . "After some time he succeeded , ' bat not before the flames bad reached the southern ! wall of his extensive factory , and it was only rowing to the exertions of tbe police that the { factory escaped total destruction . By this time [ the parish engine was on tbe spot , followed ' immediately by Mr . Connorton , with the West , of ( England engine , who was succeeded by Mi . Braidwood , with as many engines as could fee spared from the fire at Limehouse . About half a dozen \ other engines of [ the brigade , and alao the county engine , with Mr . Carter , next reached the scene of conflagration , when *> ne of the' most awful sights presented itself ; the entire
iT&nge of buildings being one vivid sheet of fire , ascending to a conaideirble height , cauaing large flukes of fire to fall on the tops of the adjoining and opposite houses . The yard of Mr . Bird ! being tilled with timber , as we have before stated , the fire travelled along the ground almest with the quickness of lightning , setting fire | to Mr . Bird ' s private dwelling and several other houses in Love-lane . The excitement that now ensued was painfully great : in one street were to be seen numberless persons escaping with wbat little property they could lay tbeir hands on ; Whilst in another stteet were [ to be seen the inmates running out of their habitations quite frantic , and almost in a state of nudity . At halfpast three , an hour after the outbreak , Mr . Bird ' s [ premises , with tbe valuable contents , were totally destroyed , and numerous other buildings partly burnt down .
FIRE IN GREAT GEORGE-STREET AND PARLIA-; MjENTSTREKT , About twenty minutes to three o ' clock on Sunday morning last , another most extensive and destructive fire broke out in the residence of Mr . Villierc surgeon , situate between Parliament-atreet and Kingstreet , opposite Westtninster Abbey , which for upwards of an hour threatened the total destruction of the eBtire range of buildings in the vicinity . Tbe fire was discovered by two constables of the A and B divisions , it being the spot where their beats joined . The first intimation which they received was from the sudden ontbreat of a strong fjkre of light issuing from a small back room on the first floor , accompanied by a dense smoke . The appearance indicating the place to be on
fire , the police proceeded to alarm the Inmates , and they then started for the engines . At this juncture some females happened to come up , who continued without intermission to knock at the doors of the adjoining bouses . Strange to say , the flimea ran through the house as if a train had been laid down , and the entire building was enveloped in one mass of fire . At this time the utmost alarm prevailed , tke inmates appearing at tbe windows , calling loudly for help . Fortunately , they all all succeeded , in effecting their escape by the roofs of the adjoining bouses . At this period the scene was truly magnificent , the flames illuminating Westminster Abbey , tho Hall , and the whole of the West end , tbe reflection causing the engines from Cbandos-street , King-street , Wallstreet , and the adjacent parts to arrive , as well as the pariah onea of St . Margaret * and St John's ; but so
strong a hold had the destructive element obtained , that for a length of time all cbance of stopping its progress was abandoned , the flames burning backwards , and in less than twenty minutes a cry was raised that the premises of Mr . Goldsmith , wine-merchant , Parliament-street , were in flames . The alarm was too speedily confirmed by tbe flames bursting forth in an immense volume , and in lees time than we have occupied in writ ng it , tbe entire house was enveloped in one immense body of fire . At this period a plentiful supply ot water was obtained , but nearly an hour elapsed before the slightest impression was visible . At length , through the exertions of the firemen , aided by the police , the fire gave way , and by four o ' clock all danyer was at an end . The house in which the fire originated is divided into tenements , the lower part being occupied by Mies May , the daughter of Superintendent May , who carries on tho business of a milliner . The fire took an
angular direction , leaving the extensive premises of Mr . Morris , the ironmonger , untouched , bat burning in a southward direction , tbe premises of Mr . Cuthbertson , the wax-chandler , were for a length of time in imminent danger . The damage done is estimated at about £ 5 000 , the whole of which will fall on the County Fire Office .

Mvuvsb of a Gamekebpeb in Cheshibk . —We lament to have to plaoe upon record another of those agrarian crimes of the deepest dye , which have for some years disgraced this end of the county of CuQsUr . iuthQlawleBsmurder of Matthias Bailey , the gamekeeper of George Wilbraham , Esq ., of Delamere House , near Northwich ; and under circumstances which are likely to baffle the ingenuity of the mosfe experienced of the police in detecting the miscreants who have perpetrated this horri | le crime ; inasmuch aa at present there exists not the slightest cltie by the means of which even suspicion can attach to any one . The following are the leading f&dts of the case 1—On Friday jaormng last , between eight aud nine o ' clock , a female named Mary Tearsley , who resides at Growton , near Weaverham , was proceeding up a plaoe called Camomile-lane ,
Untitled Article
when she observed the body of a man in the lane ; he was lying ! with the face down , so that she could nofeideotif y who it was : and shttfaoiiced that a considerable quantity of blood in a clotted state was close to ihe } head , and which appeared to have flowed from a wound in the neck ; the body appeared to be lifelessj . She informdd some other : persona of what she had seen , and it was identified as the body of Matthias Bailey . He was without his coat , which was fouud inlan adjoining cornfieldj and his gua was found in the « amo field , about fifty yards from his coat . When ! the body was examined it . was still warm , and from tho position , it was evident that the unfortunate man had been Bhot from behind ,
and had fallen forward . There wa 3 not the sligkr test indication that he had had any conflict , as no marks of struggling were seen . It js copjectnred thaj . when in the corn-field he may have become aware of some trespassers , and that he had pursued them ; as it ? vas bis habit , when he gave chase to any suoh parties , to throw his weapons down , and release himself as much as possible from the trammels of dress ] . Information of the dreadful eyen ^ was immediately conveyed by a young mau named Thomas Minsbull , to Mr . Wilbraham , who , with Clement Swettenham , Esq ., and other magistrates , immediately proceeded to institute the most rigorous inquiry into the affair . It appears that on the
preceding evening Bailey returned home from the hay-field , soo ^ n after seven o ' clock , and went early to bed , telling his wife that he intended to get up early next m ^ raing , in order to get hold of " those fellows , " meaning , no doubt , some persons suspected of poaching . ) He arose batwoen three and four o ' clock ; and tbat was the last time his wife saw him alive . The only incident that has yet come to light , previous to the finding of his body , rests on the testimony of jThoa , Pickering , a labouring man , residing at Norley . It appears tbat , according to his account , about 4 o'clockhe wen t to fetch his cow out of the field , when he found that she had strayed into Moss-lane , situated between Norley and Crowton .
When he was i n the lane he heard the report of a gun , and saw two men running towards Camomilelane , the last ; of whom had no coat on , and appeared to be much larger in size than the other . One of the men called out , "It ' s you , John ; " and he believes the voice to have been that of Matthias Bailey . Under the directions of Mr . Baker ,. special high constable , five persons were apprehended , naxned John Blane , Samuel Blane , and also Duncalf and Wright . On Monday , an inquest was held on the body , at the Fox and Hounds public-house , Growton , before Henry Churton , Esq ., the coroner , and which was attended by Mr . Wilbraham and several other parties . Evidence was given by the widow , Thomas Pickering * Mary Yearaley , and
Thomas Minshuil , to the facts above stated . Mr . Smith , surgeon , living at Aoton-brike , who had made a post mortem examination of the body , stated tbat the neck was ] perforated by a large quantity of small irregular pieces of lead resembling shot , ten . of which he extracted ; the intervertebral cartilages were penetrated , and also the spinal marrow , by two ol the pieces of lead ; and ] he stated it to be his opinion that the latter named injury would be sufficient to cause death . It appears that about half a pound of shot had been found in the corn field before mentioned , being No . 4 , ! mixed with dust ; but there was no correspondence between them and the shot extracted from the neck of tbe victim . No evidence whatever
was adduced against any of the parties in custody , and they were consequently discharged . It did not appear probable that any further evidence could at present be attained ; and it being the opinion of the coroner , and also the magistrates in attendance , that no good result would accrue from adjourning the inquest , inasmuch as , if anything further transpires , the matter can be investigated before the magistrates , the jury returned a verdict or " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown . " Bailey was a stout athletic man , aged about forty years , and by his death his wife and four children have been bereaved of their sole support . He was very generally respected by his employer , and also by all who knew him . —Chester Chronicle ,
A " Socialist" Parson ; and worse . —Dr . Cantwell Surpassed . —A case of extreme depravity , which has come to light on the Welsh Circuit involves several points of public importance . It appeara that the Rev . Francis Thomas , a beneficed Clergyman , debauched a Miss Caroline Williams , a lady of most respectable family in reduced circumstances . It is alleged that the reverend gentleman succeeded first by force , and J it was proved thai he promised marriage , and that a long intercourse and most characteristic correspondence followed , ending , as usual , in a heartless desertion . In one of his letters from Pembroke College , of which the reverend seducer was a fellow , jhe wrote to his victim
thus—* ' I am sorry to hear you are ill ; you must try to got well and be hapyy . If I had the power to confer those blessings on you , I would say , be happy—and be so for everl Religion alone can give ( Ms . You suppose I possess little of it ; but I have been preaching to-day . " j In another he deals in menace , in jeers , and in his impious use of the pretence of religious zeal , in suecession , and nWer was there a more profane or disgusting mixture . " Deiiberato on these things—ifyou viait Swansea , the news will jfly to * Haverfordwest , as fast as wheels drawn by sorry jades can speed ; then advice will fly from Harerfor < iwest pretty quick , though 'twill come pSrt of tbe way by a two-horse coach . The advice
will be , most lrkely , to the toliowing ettect : ^ -lfthat woman annoys you , have her up instantly before the authorities , and bind her over to keep the peace . And this is wh ' at I shall be urged to do- Now . I don ' t want to treat thee in this manner , poor girl ; but don ' t you seel what I shall be obliged to do ? Stay thee quiet where thou art , and perhaps I'fl write thee a civilish noteiagain some time , to wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year , or something like that . Oh ! how 1 wish yon were a real Christian , a real believer [ in Jesus . Pray to God to give you light to apprehend divine truth , I wish you well . I "F . T . " He ends one letter , full of the most puerile levities , with one true } word : " Don't be naughty ; yon can do well without seeing that scoundrel \ Frank . — F . T . " The scoundrel Frank , or frank scoundrel , being himself the Rev . Francis Thomas .
We pass tojthe evidence of the confession of the crime , the sanctified plea for it , and the refusal of reparation— ! " The Rev . How ell Jones Phillips : I am a clergyman of the Church of England . I reside in Lotidon . I was here in ( the year 1841 . I had an interview with Mtaa Williams on the subject of Mr . Frank Thomas ' s courtship . I communicated to him what passed between us . I informed him that Miss Williams had charged him with r aving seduced her about nine or ten years a # o . He admitted the fact , but said it hap ' poned when he was an ungodly man , and giveu to ungodly things . "
And this man is in possession of two livings . Two parishes have the benefit of his example and bis teaching . 1 His victim had first taken the alarm on learning that her seducer was about to go to Australia as a Missionary , the Society for the Propagation of tho Gospel in Foreign Pares having deemed him a fit and worthy iastrttmeat for its purposes ( an example of the judgemeut exercised by this body in the choice of its ministers ) ;| but bis peculiar merits procured him peculiar patronage at home , which doubtless caused him to change his plan ? , and to content himself with a couple of livings .
The Jury gave a verdict of £ 500 damage ? , and doubtless the r , agenr > r » te , tho converted , the . godly Rev . Francis Thomas thinks it very hard that he should have to I pay so much money for the wicked pleasures of the unregenerate , uncoaverted , ungodly Francis Thomas , with whom he has no more to do than a serpent has with the skin it has oast . But is the matter to rest here ? Is such a man to remain in possession ofjchurch preferment ; are two parishes to be left in the black shade of such an example 1 Are they to be disgusted and outraged by the exhibition of such a person in the character of a teacher ! What can be the discipline of a Church which continues suoh a member in one of its offices of trust for an hour beyond the time which the forms of his suspension and expulsion may require!—Exa * miner .
